The J Camp Story

All Barshop JCC camps feature a child-centered program focusing on the individual needs of each camper and the collective interests of each camp group. Our goal is to help each camper develop new skills and a greater appreciation of his or her capabilities. We provide a community setting where children develop confidence, build character and meet new friends. J Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association and meets some of the highest standards for day camps. We provide numerous camp options including one-week specialty camps, four-week traditional camps, sports, tennis, teen travel, CIT, performing arts and much more. Our staff are caring and knowledgeable young adults who enjoy working with children. Our administrative team includes certified teachers and highly experienced educators who are experts in providing a fun, engaging and safe environment for campers.

Why We Host Schlichim

"Hosting Shlichim during the summers remains a wonderful experience for our family. Each year we meet dynamic and fascinating young Israelis with whom we maintain contact long after the summer has gone. Our kids are the greatest beneficiaries of the experience, finding in the Shlichim individuals who they come to regard as older siblings. It is an event we look forward to every year with good reason and plan on continuing for years to come."

Connecting with Israel

“Although it was so new, Israel brought upon me a familiar sense of belonging much like what I feel at Camp Chi every summer. The ability to be in a place where one feels so free and proud to be a Jew is a feeling that makes me so proud to be involved in my Jewish heritage.”

- Joshua Krawitz, 17, Camp Chi, JCC Chicago
